You can also make tea out of the leaves, root, and flowers (all together, or some combination of the three).
Dandelions have a lot of vitamin A and C, some B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, and zinc. It's good for the skin, liver, and digestion. It's a diuretic and can help with cramps.
Interesting. I think you mentioned it before, but I didn't remember the bottom eyelids could move. I wonder if that gives them an advantage somehow. Not asking you to go digging, just thinking out loud:)
It seems like they can really change the shape of their face a lot. Anywhere from a dish to a pretty pointy V, like 1:30 in the video. My totally uneducated guess is that the smushy sleepy face would channel some sound away from their ears. It can be hard to sleep when your ears are set to full power.
The colors are fantastic. I didn't know they could squish up their faces like that. Very cute. I wonder if it makes their ears any less sensitive so they can sleep better.
That can be annoying, but I can usually chase it out with one of the other songs that lives in my head. Sometimes I'll put on a song in my head just because. It's not always the same as the real thing, but it's pretty good, especially the vocals.
Yeah, it's good for that, or remembering different interpretations.
I saw you have a wedding coming up? Congrats! And I hope things work out with work.
Yeah, it does look like that! But I can't relate to numbers having colors at all. Music has colors.
E flat can remind me of a burnished gold. Or someone sings a note, and it's like I can see the overtones on a screen in front of me. Layers of shimmering sound waves up near the ceiling, maybe gold or silver or white depending on how the note is sung.
Or sometimes the fundamental has a rich, pretty gray, like this owl. I don't talk about it much because not everyone gets it, but I feel comfortable here and I know you like music :)
The colors are fascinating. They remind me of some of the colors I can hear (yes, hear!) in music sometimes. Which maybe sounds crazy, but it's fun.
I love these guys, and this pose especially. It looks so startled, and the shadow of the claws is great.
There's pretty much always time to explain yourself if someone doesn't understand. You could say it the first way that comes to mind, then pause and say it the second way. It doesn't have to be perfect, you just have to communicate. Sometimes you have to use your hands and feet, and that's OK too.
That sounds great. I have 10 days of vacation a year (not required by law) and 3 sick days (required by law in my state). 60-80 hours a week, and this is a "good" job. It's been 12 years and I can't keep this up much longer. But I look at other people's jobs for a living, and I know it could be worse.
It depends on where you're staying and how much time you have. LA is big and you'll probably spend a good amount of time in a car. If you can, get a nice rental car that's not too big. Parking is often a challenge and some streets are narrow. If renting at LAX, the wait times can be long.
Go to the beach if you can. I like Redondo Beach better than Santa Monica or Venice. Pretty and less crowded. There are wide, paved walkways and places to sit and watch the ocean.
The Getty Villa is pretty and accessible, from what I remember. The museum too.
Hollywood isn't that interesting unless you're going to an event. If you want to see it, I'd recommend driving down Hollywood Blvd. between La Brea and Vine. Or check out Cahuenga Blvd. The Hollywood Bowl is great and has accessible options, but you should book well in advance and be prepared for a long drive or shuttle ride.
If you want glitz and glamor, go to Beverly Hills and drive down Rodeo.
Drive down Mulholland for a great view of the city, or go to the Griffith Observatory. Griffith Park is also nice and has picnic areas if you don't want to walk.
Downtown LA isn't really a tourist area to me, but there are good restaurants. Some of the hotels have rooftop lounges with great views. Or go to Little Tokyo and get sushi, ramen, or mochi.
Huh, fascinating! It'd be interesting to experience the world the way they do, or really a lot of other critters.
